I've just been going back and looking at some of the submissions over the past month. I really like these. The idea of mixed media is appealing. I've used it a little and Therese is beginning to use it frequently.

Mule,
There are 20 fishermen in that photo you are sharing your secret spot with. Now they will probably call you a spot-burner.

Bill, there have been as many as a 100+ of us crowded together at that same spot when the Drum were in. Most of us work together and hardly ever is a harsh word spoken. The protocol is just understood. Now further up on the North Beach, Ramps 23 through 38, most stay 50 to 100 yards away from another fisherman. It's just something we've learned over the years.

I have a reverse pic of a rough sea with at sunrise with a sport fisherman just beyond the bar that an artist is using to paint a glass for my mantel clock.

My friend used a 200 year old Seth Thomas wooden movement and built me a new clock. It took me a year to decide what I wanted for the glass and now this nice artist gal is reverse painting it --- and adding a fisherman.

If I can find it I'll send you a copy. It has the entire deal --- sunbeams, breakers, listing boat.

I also have some dynamic pictures of waves hitting the stone walls around the harbor in the my mom's hoometown on Cornwall, England. 50-60 footers crashing into the walls, the cliffs and spraying over the rooftops. Although I don't care for being on the seas in those conditions I find few things more awesome or more beautiful.

I have made the bad judgement to sit out a hurricane at our Salvo cottage --- and it was a breathtaking experience.

Here's the one that I sent for my clock glass. The artist is going to add the surfcaster. These sunups are my favorite pics. Means you are around to see another one and with luck you have another day in paradise!!!
